The TED story
Opportunity has a way of showing up at the most unexpected times in our lives, and whether we should open the door and embrace it or to just ignore it. My philosophy has always been not only to open every door, but to embrace it and also challenge it...which is something I hope my audience will take away with them long after our events have finished.
